Don't Say A Word

from Natural Progression by KJ Johnson

/

about

I wrote this when I was 16 or 17 while trying to understand a dear friend of mine who is perpetually lost.

lyrics

It’s just another word while you lay on the floor
And you gaze around the room like you haven’t before
And you scratch your head twice, thinking about what to do.
Take a run around the block just to pick up my feet
With the wind in my face and the air so deep
My future’s in the stars but I haven’t figured out what it means.

Don’t say a word
It’s all right.

You fall asleep at three in the afternoon
Wake up half past nine with the same old tune in your head
And you can’t quite remember how it really goes.
But your eyes they turn a different shade of blue
And they light up bold as if you never knew
That it could brighten up the dense night sky.

Don’t say a word
It’s all right.

And your ears they scream as if they never heard
And you paint the earth gold
You prefer to do more than defy.

It’s just another word while you lay on the floor
And you close your eyes and smile like you haven’t before
And you imagine yourself at the bottom of the ocean.
You wobble so close but you don’t have a chance
‘Cause you’re always half stoned and faking romance
And you and I both know you could do better.

Don’t say a word
It’s all right.
